LONG-TERM DOCK SLIP IS AVAILABLE FOR NEW OWNER AT NICE LIVE-ABOARD MARINA IN FORT PIERCE WITH A SPECTACULAR VIEW, PLENTY OF PARKING, AND VERY NICE MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

Located in Fort Pierce, Florida. This yacht is a magnificent example of quality and heavy duty construction. She was totally refit top to bottom, inside and out from 2004 to 2012 by her current owner, with 40 plus years of experience in the marine industry. Her beautiful mahogany interior has been refinished with Awlcraft 2000 and Awlbrite. Super high gloss finish throughout. Aft deck area is all teak. Same Awlgrip finish. All interior mahogany cabinets and woodwork were stripped and refinished, most of them had been painted over the years but fortunately they were made with very thick solid 1 inch mahogany and easier to refinish compared to all veneer and plywood boats of later years.

Remodeled heads, with new sinks, tile, and fixtures. All new mattresses in every stateroom. New watercooled, 4 ton AC unit on bridge cools pilothouse and aft deck. All new seastrainers and AC pumps, and thru-hulls installed in 2016. Exterior was stripped to bare aluminum, windows removed and replaced with factory rubber. Exterior hull and topsides were faired with west system fillers, Awlgrip primer and Awlgrip topcoat. All decks and superstructure were faired out with no expense spared she has smooth lines and has no waves as do most aluminum yachts. Deck and exterior hardware were carefully installed with a special isolating technique using isolators made from delrin and nylon to help prevent corrosion due to unlike metals touching. Very time consuming but worth every penny. No one takes the time to do this when they refit these aluminum boats.

Too many upgrades to list, must come see this amazing vessel to appreciate all that has been done. This was not a normal refit, it went way beyond that of normal refits. I used all my years of working on these yachts to make this one a true Gem. FantaSea has been used very little since its restoration. Some exterior wood trim etc. needs refinished again. Rails are good, but exterior just needs spruced back up some, buffing/polishing and britework. She also needs a new bimini top thanks to Irma.

FantaSea has only had two owners in its 57 years. She is a heavy duty ship that has been a pleasure to own and refit. She is ready to have a great new life with a new owner.
